Den of Geek | 'Homeland Review: Sock Puppets'

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I want to take a minute and consider how much of a rebound Homeland has been on this year. It’s fair to say that season 5 was not exactly anyone’s favorite, and even the better post-Brody stories like season 4 were never quite able to recapture the pace and excitement of Homeland’s early, dizzying heights. I’m not entirely sure season 6 has either, but this episode again marks sure footing and compelling drama where the storytellers know where they’re going, and they’re getting there in ways that can be both predictably satisfying and also totally out of left field.
